I like food. I really like food. And for quite a few years, Taste of Auckland has been on my bucket list of things to try. What better time to go than to see the event's 5th anniversary?

Taste of Auckland is a curious festival in general. I debated for the if I wanted to go and who I could go with, because Taste of Auckland is not a cheap place to visit. It requires a $25 entry fee (or $30 if you pay at the gate, and then requires more money on top of that if you want to buy an actual meal/serving/drink instead of living off lots of tiny taste testers. Most people who have gone before say it's not worth it most of the time, and then my close friends (majority students) can't really afford events like that.

But this year, I received a free pass to the event from some magazine, and pretty much decided at 5.15pm yesterday that I was going to go - even if it was for half an hour. I ended up staying till closing time.
